“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”

— Stanley Kubrick

“Is society healthy, that an individual should return to it? Has not society itself helped to make the individual unhealthy? Of course, the unhealthy must be made healthy, that goes without saying; but why should the individual adjust himself to an unhealthy society? If he is healthy, he will not be a part of it. Without first questioning the health of society, what is the good of helping misfits to conform to society?

To help the individual to fit into a society which is ever at war with itself – is this what psychologists and analysts are supposed to do? Is the individual to be healed only in order to kill or be killed? If one is not killed, or driven insane, then must one only fit into the structure of hate, envy, ambition and superstition which can be very scientific?” — Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Anne Wood, co-creator of the show, and Andrew Davenport, the series writer, told The Guardian in a 2013 article titled, ‘How we made: Teletubbies,’ that their inspiration for the show’s characters came from visiting the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Wood recalled the initial development of the show: ‘We were interested in how children were reacting to the increasingly technological environment of the late 1990s. We’d just visited the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, and Andrew [Davenport] had been amused at how astronauts looked like toddlers in nappies.’”
